Additional info:

Spoke with steve whitehouse about this issue and we found out where
the problem. Another BZ had similar backtrace. The backtraces were
different we found out that a flag was not set in another function
leading to a different way to create the bug.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=460218#c7

Patch will be upload that resolves the issue.
